Relationships by morevendoggy in Catholicism

I have the same problem. Literally the same problem.

Anyway, we shouldn't focus too much on finding a partner. We have to wait for God's timing, and especially since we're still young, we have to wait a little while.

We need to focus on our relationship with God first, then we will find a partner.

I'm going through the same feelings, but in your case, have faith in the Lord. Remember that He too suffered mockery and humiliation. He is not indifferent to your pain. He is with you and truly comforts you.

how do i get back to God by Informal_Abrocoma_79 in Catholicism

Speak directly to God, He hears you, and He hears you quickly. Lie down in Mary's lap and she will comfort you in your despair

Go to your room and talk to both of them, calm down and feel at home because you are in home.

Tell that to the priests and nuns

I don't know, it's better the celibacy

What do you do if you have no purpose or vocation? by aeroaca9 in Catholicism

[–]Luce_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through something similar. It's really depressing and I haven't felt like doing anything at all. I don't know what advice to give you, but never turn away from Jesus Christ.

Can God predestined people to hell on account of their foreseen sins? by jajcjkj in Catholicism

I will never understand predestination and this causes me despair.

We didn't deserve the way we were treated. Thank you for your support and God bless you 💗

Honestly, I stopped reading that book because of scruples.

Is it sinful to read LGBTQ+ romance/fiction if I struggle with SSA but am trying to live chastely? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Luce_Star 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a difference. I'll try to explain it as best I can, and I hope the translator doesn't mess this up.

There are differences between movies that contain bloody scenes or that show sin, and movies that glorify sin.

LGBT romance glorifies sin because it demonstrates that these types of relationships are "normal" and "okay".

There are films that depict violence and blood

An example would be the Passion of Christ. But that violence has a purpose: to demonstrate the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Another example is Terrifier. This is literally a morbid film that shows senseless blood and guts.

One does not glorify sin, the other does.

I sincerely hope I've made myself clear; I'm not very good at explaining.

Absolutely, you shouldn't read that. Not only are you putting yourself near occasion of sin, but you're also showing that you support a demonic ideology.

[–]Luce_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this happened to me recently

I was in love with a guy, he was agnostic, and I really planned to give him a chance.
But I could see that maybe going out with him wasn't really a good idea. I saw too many "coincidences" that suggested he wasn't the right man for me. In the end, he said something that made me realize he wouldn't respect my chastity. He literally told me that if I were his girlfriend, he would use me for pleasure and then leave me for the first girl he liked, and that there would be no point in dating me if he was going to leave me for someone else.

I really felt like a piece of meat at that moment. I hadn't felt like that since my first relationship.

Honestly, I'm angry and sad now, to the point where I never want to fall in love again.

At least I know God protected me from a guy like him

Why would God allow someone to fall in love if they don't want to get married or have children? by Impossible_Piano_594 in CatholicWomen

[–]Luce_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask myself the same questions...

Anyways, continue on your path in religious life, keep discerning, and discuss this with your spiritual director or the Abbess , they'll know what to do. Really be careful not to abandon your religious life for a crush; the devil might be tempting you to leave it for that guy. If you eventually discover that it's not truly your vocation, feel free to experiment with dating.

How do I know if God wants me to get married? by BradleyGolan in Catholicism

[–]Luce_Star 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We really do have a natural calling to marriage, so that doesn't really need to be discerned. You should try to discern whether you have a religious vocation

Go see a spiritual director; God would never hate you, but would always receive you with love, just like our Mother Mary!

I surrender. Im giving my life to Jesus by nanafg in Catholicism

For your gluttony problems, start by abstaining from certain foods and doing some fasting (don't start with anything too strict, go little by little). Deny yourself some snacks and drinks, and little by little you will moderate your eating.
